    Head Coach Matt Painter pretty candid today on just one Boilermaker making Big Ten All-Conference after winning regular season title " If people out there that vote don't value winning, it shows. Don't play for awards, play to win. We got what we came for, Big Ten Championship"

    ISU coach Josh Schertz to NCAA Tourney Committee "28 wins, outright regular season champs in best league in the country. Played every Quad 1 game away from home. We proved we're good enough to be in NCAA Tourney. It would be a shame to leave us out and put in a 18-15 team"

    Another great message from Purdue head coach Matt Painter today at Big Ten Media Day. I hear parents/athletes complaining all the time through my job and my own kids youth sports. Athletes/parents need to watch this. Painter emphasis don't complain, not about you, but team.

    Purdue head coach Matt Painter on picking up career win #400 Friday. Really good advise for anyone "If they fire me on Wednesday, bet the play the game on Saturday. Goes on with or without you. Your impact is really after you leave. Want to leave it better than you found it"

    Being on TV everyday, no pressure. Making sure your 5-year old daughters hair looks ok for her Christmas program, when mom isn’t home in the morning and at work. All kinds of pressure. Dad 101 survival skills, hair straightener to the rescue!

    I have no idea who these two high school runners were, but great sportsmanship by one of the boys to help a fellow competitor who was struggling to finish.

    Purdue head coach Matt Painter needs to be in charge of NCAA, he just gets it. Painter talked about what it takes to run a good program "Use scholarship to not have just great basketball career. Use opportunity to have great life. Don't just leave here with a piece of paper"
